Statement of Faith
StudyLight.org is a Christ-centered, Bible-based Internet ministry that is not a part of any particular church group or denomination. The following is the statement of faith to which I subscribe:
- I believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
- I believe the Triune Godhead exists in One Eternal, Transcendent, Omnipotent, personal God, manifested in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- I believe in the substitutionary and redemptive sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ for the sin of the world through His literal physical death, burial, and bodily resurrection followed by His ascension into Heaven.
- I believe in the Holy Spirit's regeneration as essential for the salvation of lost and sinful men.
- I believe in the Holy Spirit's present ministry, by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live the Godly life.
- I believe in personal salvation from the eternal penalty of sin, provided exclusively by the grace of God on the basis of the atoning death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, to be received only through personal faith in His Person and redemptive work on the cross, and to be followed with a life characterized by the empowering grace of the Holy Spirit, giving evidence in loving service and adherence to the principles and practices of the Christian Faith as set forth in the New Testament.
- I believe in the future personal, bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the earth to judge and establish His eternal kingdom and consummate and fulfill all His purposes, the works of creation, and redemption, with an eternal reward for believers and eternal punishments for the unsaved.
- I believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ and the evidence of that unity being shown by how we love one another and conduct our ministry.
